> Subject: [PATCH] pipeline: fix build with glibc < 2.26
> 
> reallocarray has been introduced in glibc 2.26 but we still support
> glibc >= 2.7.
> Simply replace with realloc, as the considered sizes are unlikely to
> overflow.

> """
> The reallocarray() function changes the size of the memory block
> pointed to by ptr to be large enough for an array of nmemb elements,
> each of which is size bytes.  It is equivalent to the call
> 
>        realloc(ptr, nmemb * size);
> 
> However, unlike that realloc() call, reallocarray() fails safely in
> the case where the multiplication would overflow.  If such an over‐
> flow occurs, reallocarray() returns NULL, sets errno to ENOMEM, and
> leaves the original block of memory unchanged.
